‘Spotty Wotty’ blouse

Fabric: Polka dot black and white Cotton.PatternLiz #7936 blouse downloaded from burdastyle.comYear 2010?Notions Interfacing, flower buttons left over from the last buttons challenge, threadTime to complete a couple of hoursFirst worn: About ten minutes ago for the photosWear again? For work tomorrow, then we’ll see how it goes.Total price: All from stash, so free.

I have sunk to new lows with these photos, but I knew that if I didn’t get them snapped as soon as possible then I would end up putting it off ’til Friday again, like last week. So fifteen minutes ago I finished the last button, chucked it on, set the self timer and took these in the corner of my bedroom. Apologies for the dodgy quality.

I am actually really pleased with this blouse. I used this pattern for the ‘collar’ challenge and knew I would end up using it again. It is a little on the loose side, I may end up taking it in at some point, especially as i am trying to lose half a stone. I wear the stripey one I made loads so I will probably get a lot use out of this one too. The buttons are left over from the ‘buttons’ challenge. At first I wasn’t sure if they went, but actually I quite like how they look now.

So here it is, the Spotty Wotty Blouse. It is named after my daughter’s favourite pet tropical fish, species unknown but black, white and very spotty.
I promise to make more effort next week :o)

I really like this blouse. I think the buttons look smashing with the fabric. I hear ya about photos. I think that’s my biggest challenge. I finish my garment and then I wait until the best time to shoot photos, then I never get around to it. Anyway, kudos to you for posting!

Oh boy do I know about that ‘Sewing is easy, getting this stuff photographed is hard’ feeling! I really like your blouse, and it looks like such a useful wardrobe piece. The buttons are especially fab – they work so much better than round buttons would.

About the Sew Weekly

The Sew Weekly began as Mena Trott's attempt to document the process of sewing all of her own clothes in 2010. In 2011, four other contributors (Debi Fry, Adey Lim, Veronica Darling & Sarah Gabbart) joined her and for 52 weeks, they sewed based on a particular weekly theme. In 2012, The Sew Weekly became a much larger group blog with over 130 contributors sewing along each week.
